Wow. This is my favorite packaging of any MST3K release so far. Way to go, Shout!

Looks great.
So, I'm assuming that the inner case that holds the thinpacks is what future/non-"limited" releases are going to be?

Wow...and here I was all set to crow about being one of the first to get it (at least I own bragging rights on the Rifftrax forums). Though I found mine...used. I went to my local used DVD/Music place, trading in some DVDs in hopes to get a discount on 'No Country for Old Men.' As I waited for the guy to find the DVD for the case, my eyes glanced behind the counter to the myriad boxsets, and a glint hit my eye off a certain metal tin. I asked the guy if he could bring it over...only to find that someone had traded in the 20th Anniv. boxset. Everything was intact as well. But what really made it too good to be true, was that in it's used price, it was $35! Needless to say, the Coen Bros.' Oscar-Winning NCFOM went back on the shelf and I got the new boxset. This is an amazing bit of luck- the last time this kind of amazement hit was when I found toys from Wall-E at Toys R Us, that were so new, the 'scalpers' on eBay hadn't even put them up.

I used to work in a store that bought back used music and video, and I frequently saw people sell their promos right away. Usually there is some sort of mark on or near the upc code, or a sticker signifying it's a promo...but not always. Great find, btw.

But yeah, I work in the Music/DVD Dept. of Barnes and Noble, and our music manager gets promos of CD's/DVD's every 2 weeks or so. They have a black slash mark across the UPC code to show it is a promo. Best part about it? Music/DVD employees have first dibs at the promos.

Amazing how some people find this stuff so early.
I have a question for those that already own it. Are the DVDs single layer or dual layer in size? Rhino liked to compress most of their MST3K episodes to single layer and I'm expecting the same with Shout Factory.

Seeing as it's a +/- 97 minute long show transferred from video, I don't think they would bother with a dual-layer disc (unless the extras take up a lot of space).
